More information: In their 20 years together, Spock’s Beard have built a reputation for invention, musicality and sheer restive energy. Yet perhaps nothing they have done before can properly prepare you for their 11th studio album. ‘Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep’ is an album that will constantly surprise. For one thing, this represents the studio debut of a new line-up - now joined by vocalist Ted Leonard and drummer Jimmy Keegan - live drummer with the band for 10 years, but first time on a studio album. For another it sees the return of old friend Neal Morse, co-writing two of the tracks.
